But First, Let’s Woo

S2-E14: Our fave woo-woo podcasts and YouTube channels

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨👑✨🔮✨
Today we’re doing something a little different. We’re taking you on a guided tour through our favorite podcasts and YouTube channels, the ones we keep in our sacred rotation.
First up, we’re enrolling you in The Cosmic Curriculum—that’s where we share the mind-expanding, soul-nourishing, “holy wow, I just learned something” kind of content. Think: astrology deep dives, psychology rabbit holes, and the kind of info that makes your third eye twitch. 👁️✨
Then we’re heading straight into Witchflix and Chill—our cauldron of cozy, quirky, and chaotic-good entertainment. These are the shows that make us cackle, comfort us when Mercury’s in retrograde, and keep us company like a familiar curled up on the couch. 🐈‍⬛📺💫
So get comfy, clear some space in your queue, and let’s press play.

S2-E13: Book review - "The Lost Tarot"

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨👑✨🔮✨
Today we’re venturing into another book review and talking about The Lost Tarot by Sarah Henstra. If you’ve read it, you already know it’s full of mystery and secrets….and girl power!
Now before we dive in, here’s your spoiler alert: this episode will get into all the details—including the ending. So if you haven’t read it yet and want to experience it spoiler-free, this is your chance to pause and come back later. Totally up to you.
But if you’re still here, let’s get into it—because The Lost Tarot has a lot going on, and we’ve got thoughts.

S2-E12: Getting cozy and spilling the tea with Lenormand

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨👑✨🔮✨
In this episode, we’re peeking behind the curtain at Lenormand: a deck that speaks in symbols, stories, and crystal-clear messages. We’ll cozy up with the basics — what it is, how it’s different from tarot and oracle decks — and then have a little fun.
Because what better way to get to know a deck than to stir up a little mischief by divining the future for celebrities and fictional characters. Will the cards spill the tea? Probably. Will it be ridiculous? Absolutely.
So, grab your crystals, light a candle, and let’s dive into the magic of Lenormand together.
If you have any thoughts on our episode today, questions about Lenormand, or you have a celebrity or person you'd like us to do a Lenormand reading for, share with us on Instagram at butfirstletswoo, or through our website at butfirstletswoo.com.

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨👑✨🔮✨
Today, we return to the grand halls of tarot wisdom, where the Queens rule with intuition and the Kings… well, let’s just say some wield power better than others.
This time, we’re exploring the rulers of the tarot court - the Queens and Kings. Are they wise advisors, commanding leaders, or maybe just a little misunderstood? And more importantly… which one might you be channeling in your life right now?
So grab your deck, settle into your seat of power, and let’s pass judgment on tarot’s noblest (and sometimes most complicated) characters. After all, when it comes to the court cards, the magic is always…in session.

Today, we’re holding court in the grand halls of tarot wisdom, where the Pages whisper secrets and the Knights ride boldly into destiny.
That’s right—we’re starting our royal journey by exploring the messengers and movers of the tarot court: the Pages and the Knights. Are they wise novices, daring adventurers, or just a little bit chaotic? And more importantly… which one might you be channeling in your life right now?
So grab your deck, take a seat on the throne of self-discovery, and let’s pass judgment on tarot’s most curious (and most restless) characters. After all, when it comes to the court cards, the magic is always… in session.

S2-E9: Pet Tarot, familiars and a little divine nonsense

Welcome back cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🕯️✨🧙‍♀️✨
Today, we’re shuffling the deck and calling on the spirits—furry ones, that is! That’s right—we’re diving headfirst into the mystical world of pet past lives and magical familiars. Was your dog once a noble steed? Was your cat a powerful witch’s right-hand in another life? And more importantly… what mystical creature should be your familiar in this one?
So grab your deck, give your pet a dramatic stare, and let’s pull some cards to uncover a little divine nonsense together. After all, magic has always been a little… familiar.

S2-E8: Reiki, and Breathwork, and Angel Cards…Oh my!

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers.🎙️✨🕯️✨🧙‍♀️✨
Today, we’re clearing our energy, taking a deep breath, and pulling a few cards—because we’re diving headfirst into a weekend of Reiki, Breathwork, and Angel readings … Oh My!
What happens when you step into a world of healing hands, powerful inhales, and messages from beyond? Is it a journey of self-discovery … or is it some really expensive napping? Did we walk away enlightened … or just really, really hydrated? Were the vibes immaculate? Did the angels have something to say? And most importantly… did we finally figure out how to actually meditate?
So grab a crystal, take a deep breath (or ten), and let’s get enlightened together. After all, a little magic never hurt anyone… right?
**********************************
About the practices we tried:
Reiki
Imagine Reiki as a cosmic spa treatment for your soul. 🌌✨ It's like having an invisible masseuse who channels universal energy through their hands to give your body and mind a gentle, yet powerful, tune-up.
Picture this: You're lying on a comfy bed, and the Reiki practitioner is waving their hands over you like a wizard casting spells of relaxation and healing. 🧙‍♂️✨ You might feel warmth, tingles, or even a sense of floating on a cloud. It's like your body's energy centers (your chakras) are getting a VIP pass to a rejuvenating party.
Reiki is all about balancing your energy, clearing out the bad vibes, and filling you up with good ones. It's a bit like hitting the reset button on your inner peace and harmony.
 
Breathwork
Imagine breathwork as a refreshing breeze for your soul. 🌬️✨ It's like giving your lungs a spa day, where each breath is a gentle massage that revitalizes your entire being.
Picture this: You're sitting comfortably, eyes closed, and you start to breathe deeply and rhythmically, as you listen to the guided instructions. It's like you're inviting waves of calm and clarity to wash over you. 🌊✨ With each inhale, you're drawing in fresh, positive energy, and with each exhale, you're releasing stress and tension. It's like your breath is a magical broom sweeping away the cobwebs of your mind.
Breathwork is all about harnessing the power of your breath to balance your energy, clear out the mental clutter, and fill you up with a sense of peace and vitality.
 
Angel Cards
Imagine angel cards as celestial postcards from your guardian angels. 🌟✨ Each card is like a little message from the universe, delivered with love and guidance.
Picture this: You're sitting down with a deck of beautifully illustrated cards, each one adorned with angelic figures and symbols. As you shuffle the deck, it's like you're dialing up the heavenly hotline for some divine advice. 📞👼
When you draw a card, it's like your angels are whispering sweet nothings in your ear, offering insights and encouragement. Maybe they're telling you to trust your intuition, embrace your inner strength, or simply reminding you that you're loved and supported. It's like getting a pep talk from your celestial cheerleaders. 🎉
Angel cards are all about connecting with your higher self and the spiritual realm, helping you navigate life's twists and turns with a little extra sparkle.
